Hiking, day 40: Mt. Rushmore

We toured around the mountains today and checked out Mt. Rushmore, Crazy Horse, and a few breweries and wineries in Hill City.

Chipmunk!

If you're not familiar with Crazy Horse, it's another monument in progress about twenty minutes away from Mt. Rushmore.  To be honest, I'm not sure it was worth the visit.  There are no hiking trails near the monument like there are at Rushmore (you can, however, pay an additional fee on top of the - rather hefty - park entrance fee for a shuttle trip closer to the mountain.)  I'd skip this one for now until they get the park a little farther along.

Hill City, a bit north of Mt. Rushmore and Keystone, is home to a handful of breweries, distilleries, and wineries.  We rounded out our day at a few.  I think my favorite sample was the plum Gose at Miner Brewing.
